“William is super awesome. He took great care of our young pup and was a very cool and funny guy to boot. He was definitley flexible and super responsive. He’ll be a great buddy for my buddy going forward.”


“Todd and Bill are great; they set up a meet & greet and made sure my pup got along with their dogs. I already had a stay booked for a few days later this month, but needed doggy daycare for a day while I went up to Disneyland. They were flexible in the pickup/dropoff times, I got updates, pictures, and a video of Holly throughout the day, and I couldn't be happier. Holly has been home for hours and hasn't moved a muscle- she's totally pooped from playing all day. Will be booking with them again many times!”

“My dog, Bella, had an amazing time at Robert and Andrea’s house while I was at work. Indy, their sweet dog, was such a good host too! It was my first time doing “day care” and they made me feel so assured and provided updates as my pup settled in. They went out of their way to make us both feel comfortable. I will definitely be requesting to have them pet sit again!!”

“Trisha was amazing. I had a last minute booking and she was more than professional, she was courteous and kind. She made sure I was comfortable and send me so many updates and photos I had 0 doubts that my pup was in amazing care. Thank you so much Trisha for working with me, Roy was so happy and sleepy when he got home!”

“Melanie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She gave consistent updates and my pup was relaxed and appeared to be well rested when I picked her up which is the best thing I can ask for … I would definitely rebook Melanie!”

“Maryjane was a wonderful sitter for my dog, Peanut Butter! She was extremely responsive and helpful. When my sitter last minute cancelled, she swooped in to save the day. She sent updates about PB all day, which kept me feeling comfortable about my newly-adopted puppy. I’d highly recommend Maryjane!”

“My dog and I met with Shane and Chris for a meet-and-greet before I booked them for a day. They were so nice and genuine during both the initial visit and the day-of daycare that i was put immediately at ease for leaving them with my senior dog. I got to see their backyard (so spacious!), and I knew that Ghibli would love sunbathing there and be his lazy self. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.”


“Sandee is such a kind, gentle woman. She immediately got down and greeted my pup. She sent me pictures throughout the day & even filled me in on her concerns of my dog, not eating. (Which is totally normal, when she’s a lil nervous). Sandee’s house & backyard is a zen zone . So tranquil & peaceful. Love love ❤️ 100 recommend :)!! Thank you Sandee!!”

“Our dog Kobe loved his stay with Stormy, he had a blast playing with her pups and he was so happy and tired when we picked him up. I’d definitely take Kobe back here again :)”

“Penelope usually barks at men but Antonio came out to meet me with treats and did a great job introducing himself to my skittish pup. He made sure to send videos of Penelope meeting all the pups which eased my nerves. I will definitely be reaching out in the future!!”

“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, both big and small, and I have helped raise and care for all of them. I am comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic training, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Since I have been around dogs for so long, I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine. I am active, and reliable, and I will treat every pet like they are my own, I am also patient with shy or nervous dogs and good at following each owner’s specific instructions. I am currently working part-time, so I have a very open and flexible schedule for pet care. I have plenty of time throughout the week to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have been around dogs my whole life, so taking care of them fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or just someone reliable to check in on them, I will make sure they are cared for and treated like my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I will always be dependable, careful, and easy to communicate with. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate needs, and any special rules. I keep dogs on leash during walks, pay attention to their behavior, and treat every pet like they are my own.
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
“Vanessa has been great taking care of both our Cane Corso and our Frenchie Terrier. She was super accommodating taking our reservation last minute and both Loki and Batman enjoyed their time w her. Batman had a follow up stay w her and came home relaxed and calm! Would recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Dusty had an AMAZING time with Stefani! During his drop of it was clear that he was right at ease with her immediately and shortly after I left he was already snuggled up for a morning nap! I’m incredibly appreciative that they went for a fun filled romp at the dog beach, so he got to run and exercise and play. Stefani sent photos and updates which helped ease my mind that my pup was in great hands and not missing me a bit! Stefani was flexible and helpful and I’m quite sure Dusty wanted to stay even longer than his one day visit! We’d love to return again 🥰”

“Kate was awesome. She responded right away during booking. She made this a great expetience for me. My dog was so happy to have stayed with Kate B. She was professional, kind and caring. Thank you. See you next time.”

Sandee is such a kind, gentle woman. She immediately got down and greeted my pup. She sent me pictures throughout the day & even filled me in on her concerns of my dog, not eating. (Which is totally normal, when she’s a lil nervous). Sandee’s house & backyard is a zen zone . So tranquil & peaceful. Love love ❤️ 100 recommend :)!! Thank you Sandee!!

Booked my senior dog Hercules for doggy day care with Trinity. She did a great job. Doing the meet and greet and drop offs and pickups were super easy. Trinity sent pics of my dog and he was relaxed and happy. I would highly recommend Trinity and hope I can book with her again in the future.

It was clear that our 2 year old pup had a great time playing with Jessica's dog all day. She passed out on the couch right after dinner with no interest in training or treats, she was that tired (which we love for her). We look forward to having Jessica care for her more in the future.

Kyra was absolutely amazing while watching my dog for a full week. From start to finish, her communication was top-tier—she kept me consistently updated and always made me feel at ease while I was away. She sent frequent pictures and detailed updates, which really reassured me that my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. We joked and laughed at Banroll goofiness which made my experience with her even better. You can tell Kyra genuinely cares about the animals she watches. My dog looked relaxed, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed being with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet for that long, but Kyra made the entire experience stress-free. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and caring. She truly goes above and beyond!

Stefani was great and so sweet! I’ve never had to have my dog stay with a sitter before so I was nervous. She sent me pictures all day and updated me all day with how he was doing. She kept him busy the whole time he was there and I could tell that my dog loved her and had a great time. She was attentive to his weird quirks and made sure he was safe and comfy. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again to watch him!

Mark has been wonderful to work with. Our dog, Mello, has some anxiety around new environments, so we arranged a test daycare day before the official boarding dates. Mark has been incredibly patient and thoughtful in helping Mello get comfortable. We really appreciate how willing he is to work with us and plan a few more test daycare and boarding days ahead of the actual stay. It’s clear he truly cares about making sure the dogs in his care feel safe and supported. Based on this experience, we’re very confident Mello will have a great time during his upcoming stays.
